  • Schedules

    If there is only one critical path, then select activity on critical path that: (a) can still be crashed, and (b) has smallest crash cost per period. Crash this activity by one period.

  • CPM: What would be considered the Critical Path?

    If an activity has flexibility (or float as you may call it) associated with its starts and ends, then this activity is not on the critical path, because the critical path refers to the sequence of activities from project start to end that bump up back-to-back

    (A.) what is the Scheduled Completion of the Project? The project will last 22 days. (B.) What is the Critical Path of the Project? The CRITICAL PATH is the consecutive sequence of activities that has the longest time in the project.

  • Project Networks, PERT, Critical Activities and Slack Time

    As we see in (b) that the critical path takes 16 weeks, and the time till September 1 is 17 weeks, the project can be completed in time. Please see the attached file. Project networks, PERT, critical activities and slack time are investigated.
